Steve did a great job installing our bathroom vanity. Told me up front what he would charge and was true to his word. Very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend.

Called Dunbar for a toilet problem after reading all of their excellent Yelp! reviews. Steve asked me to send him a picture. He called immediately after he received it, then advised me of my options- a quick temporary fix (I could do myself) and a more permanent fix. I will definitely call him when I am ready for the permanent fix. He was so kind and informative and really showed what a knowledgeable and good person he is, which is the kind of small business I love to support. Thank you, Steve!

Steve came out to replace our gas lines in our 116 year old house. He worked with us even before we had hired him to make sure we didn't get taken advantage of by the other companies who were giving us quotes. His was half the price and he brought his friend who added even more experience to the job. Honesty was top notch and he truly had our best interests in mind the whole time. Thorough, professional, highly efficient, and respectful of our needs. He will be our first choice for all future plumbing needs!

Steve does great work and is very knowledgeable. He advocated for us when countertop installers mishandled some plumbing lines and took the time to contact them on our behalf. We received reimbursement on countertop issue thanks to him.

My wife and I would highly recommend Dunbar Plumbing to our friends and family!

Thanks again for your hard work!

Steve is by far the best plumber my fiancé and I have ever dealt with. One July afternoon our toilet kept clogging randomly. We tried a number of things on our own along with replacing the toilet. Still, no luck, so we called Dunbar Plumbing. Steve came out twice, but the problem still continued. The third time, Steve brought the sewage company with him along with a camera that they could run down the sewage pipe. He paid for the sewage company out of his own pocket because the problem was still unsolved.

Long story short, there was a piece of wood that came down the vent when our condo association was having our roof replaced. This wood was wedged where our main sewage pipe connected to the secondary toilet pipe. Steve went to bat for us and went after the association along with the roofing company. Not only did Steve get us our money refunded, but also got them to pay for the new toilet we had to get when were trying to pin point the problem.

Steve didn't have to do any of that, but did it anyway because he is a good person. That is hard to find in today's world! On top of that his prices are great, educates his customers on how to get the most out of their plumbing, cleans up, and will work around the clock to make sure his customers are satisfied. We already hired him for a second job...that's how satisfied we were.

We challenge anyone to find a better plumber. Steve is by far the best there is and we are lucky to have him in the Cincinnati area.

Had a frozen and then burst water pipe. Steve came within minutes of us noticing the damage (at 9pm). Damage repaired in a short time, and he left me with detailed instructions on how to improve the insulation to avoid further damage.
Over the years Steve has done several repairs at my house. The experience was always the same: fast, no nonsense, high quality service; reasonable pricing; excellent advice. I would not seriously think of hiring another plumber.

I can't say enough good things about Dunbar Plumbing. Steve, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable. His customer service skills are awesome. He takes the time to listen to what you need as a customer and comes up with ways to help you save money before he arrives if there are easy steps that need to be done that you, as a customer, can do ahead of time. I had a shower clog that I tried everything I knew to do to fix it. Steve was able to get the job done in about an hour. I've had no problems since!

I would highly recommend Dunbar Plumbing if you want an experienced plumber that is honest and cares about his customers. I will be a repeat customer!

Unreliable, will NOT stand behind his work. I had the same issue less than a week (and $480) that I had before he came, he was pretty quick with excuses and said I'd have to pay $105 (the one hour minimum fee) for him to even come look at it.

After having another plumber come look at the work, he was amazed that the substandard fittings and unsoldered pipes didn't just blow apart.

I think there should be an option for zero stars, one is too many on this one.

Had a relatively minor toilet repair issue that exceeded my personal ability, but I didn't want to pay an excessive amount to have it fixed either. I got phone estimates from a couple of local plumbers and Steve from Dunbar seemed the most knowledgeable and reasonable.

He had to reschedule from the original appointment due to health issues, but came on the next possible day, which was Sunday. The minimum charge is for an hour, so after the toilet repair only took 30 minutes, he asked if there was anything else he could look at and ended up clearing out a drain, pointing out an issue with the water heater that needed to be addressed and answering a few other questions. I wish I could have only paid for half an hour, but really appreciated that he made sure I got my money's worth for the hour minimum.
